“People that had their sleep restricted for a total sleep duration of ~4.5 hours for two nights had intensified feelings of anger compared to participants that had their normal sleep duration of ~7 hours. Other studies have shown that REM sleep is important for emotional regulation.”

“The findings provide an early stress-specific signal, while routine dosing and the role of high-dose creatine during sleep loss still need larger trials. This clip is excerpted, with permission, from a conversation between Dr. Rhonda Patrick and Derek from More Plates More Dates.”

“Findings from a new study suggest that inadequate sleep increases a person's risk of developing Alzheimer's disease and dementia. Alzheimer's disease and dementia are age-related disorders characterized by memory loss, cognitive decline, and behavioral changes.”

“Cinnamon and vinegar have weaker and less consistent evidence. They may make small changes, but they should not replace exercise, weight management, lower-glycemic-load foods, appropriate meal timing, sleep, or medical care.”

“Neuron losses in the brain promote daytime sleepiness in Alzheimer's disease. Scientists have long believed that poor nighttime sleep drives the daytime sleepiness often experienced by people with Alzheimer's disease.”

“Sleep deprivation profoundly affects the human body, negatively influencing cognitive performance, cardiovascular health, and more. Findings from a 2020 study suggest that sleep deprivation impairs muscle protein synthesis, but exercise counters this effect.”

“Inadequate sleep is also associated with increased preference for sweets and high-fat foods, increased inflammation, high blood pressure, and cognitive problems (less alert and have difficulty concentrating, reasoning and solving problems).”

“The study showed partial mitigation of sleep-loss effects, not a replacement for sleep or a routine high-dose protocol. For established muscle uses, 3 to 5 grams daily is a common maintenance range after stores are saturated, and loading is optional.”

“A practical approach is to keep the phone out of bed, mute notifications, and set a stopping time that protects enough sleep. These steps can reduce bedtime displacement without requiring complete avoidance of evening technology.”

“Sleep was shown to improve the ability of some immune cells to attach to their targets and may be one reason why sleep is important for immune function. T cells were taken from healthy volunteers while they slept or stayed awake all night.”
